KIDNAPPER'S LAIR
VICTIMS IN TOMBLIKE PRISON. NEW YORK, Dec. 4. A concrete-lined, tomb-like prison, constructed by an alleged kidnapper, was described in a Court case this week. Franz Hanawald is charged with having kidnapped his millionaire former employer, Julius Redlich. A ransome of £5OOO is said to have been demanded for Redlich's safe return. i Hanawald, the prosecution alleges, spent a year in constructing the tomblike prison in which he confined RedJlich. The cell was Bft. by 4ft., and attached to one of the concrete walls were chains from which hung handcuffs. Redlich alleges that his captor forced him at pistol-point to drive 20 miles blindfolded, - with his mouth gagged with adhesive tape.
